Grow Room Smorf's micro #1

[Mr.Sparkle]

I just suggested that as you were just running one plant and i didn't know your future plans, as obvious in my own thread i personally like the other end of the spectrum and run lots of plants, that way i can play around, try different genetics and hunt for phenos, currently i have i think like 27 plants in less than 2sqft, but i would typically run less than half that with bigger pots if i wasn't trying to burn through my seeds to find keepers to make crosses of.

As for the cost of seeds, in my opinion they are kinda ridiculous, but once you start making your own that cost becomes pretty minor, unless wanting to try different stuff.

I just recently as in this week started pollinating with some reversed Dark Devil Auto pollen on some lower branches of two other Dark Devil auto's and a regular feminized C99 seedling that i made the seeds for awhile back , i fully expect to see a few seeds on the upper sections and on other plants just with how easy things are to pollinate when not working in a isolated box/area, but should be minor, either way we will see what comes out of it. Might hit some think different's when they come to age too.

Yeah i will probably end up going that route.
@Mr. Sparkle you made your own c silver right?
I need to look into it more and figure out if im going to make my own or buy some.

what kind should i buy if i decide not to make my own?

Theres another member on this forum using
Tiresias Mist that is on amazon but seems kinda pricey. Might be worth it though. I think it was @PS4grower

Day 41
She was 13in now i bent her down to 11in.
Should help lower buds get light too.

Sprayed with overgrow.
Im thinking i will stop spraying overgrow around day 50?
Directions say up to week four of bloom.
Guessing she will go 70-90 days.
So i will probably just use it one or two more times which mean day 47 will be the last spray.

Before bending over.

That's great!!! I bet if you check tomorrow you can get her down another 2!

Thanks, im a little nervous about bending her too much.
Any lower on the main stalk seemed too hard to bend without possibly snapping and any higher seemed like it would be too harsh on her. The node i used felt just right.:smoking:

 

[Eyeoftheworld]

It is!!! It's perfect!

... And the more you bend her, shell adapt really fast (you'd be surprised how fast. You could probably do it now even) and you can bend her some more until as many bud sites as possible are level across the top!

Yep, my suggestion is making your own as a small bottle of colloidal silver you can easily go through and is just a waste of money, for comparison all i'm using is a plug in power supply from a modem, which i attached two alligator clips to the two wires from the cord end i lopped off, then i hang 2 pieces of pure silver from those clips and suspend those in a glass/jar of distilled water without the clips touching the water, and then throw the plug in a wall. Once i start seeing bigger silver particles form and start to fall or i hit 15ppm on my meter, them i'm done, its not high concentration but it works. I typically make a good 4-6 oz at a time, and just throw it in a 2 oz spray bottle i got from the dollar store which originally had rubbing alcohol in it. For this last round i only sprayed the one plant between once every day or two for about a week and half, and that was enough to kick it to produce pollen.

Really the only true cost is the silver, i picked up a 1oz bar and cut it in half, which is excessive, as it will take me a lifetime of consistently making fem seeds to go through, but it was what i could easily source at the time, most people use wire.

It looks good, i would of just pinched the stem where i wanted her to bend and flopped her over but that's a little more stressful, but they usually heal in only like a day or two, i should take a picture of what i do to keep plants short in my one box, full folded back on themselves "Z" to just keep them short after the odd one stretches too much.

Kinda realized ive posted alot in your thread, not trying to take it over or anything just trying to help , i'll let others step in now lol

You're good man.
I like to get as much advice, point of views and opinions from as many people as possible.

You and everyone else have been alot of help, stick around.

Day 42
Soil still wet under the top 1/4in. Wont water until tomorrow or the next day.

@Eyeoftheworld you were right!
I got her bent down to 9in!
I think this is all the lst that will be needed.

Im thinking i will only need to run one half gallon pot if im able to bend them over like this.
She is taking up the whole width of the box now.
I think shes going to turn out great.:smoking:
